Timeline
Cory Michael Schlesinger (born June 23, 1972) is an American former professional football player who was a fullback for the Detroit Lions of the National Football League (NFL).

For the season, he rushed for 1,514 yards and 23 touchdowns (including nine 100-yard games).
He was named the Nebraska Defensive Player of the Year as a prep senior and played with a group of Nebraska football all-stars in the Down Under Bowl in Sydney, Australia following his senior season.
He also won the 189-pound wrestling state championship twice during his prep career.
Schlesinger was a two-year starter for the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
As a junior, he was the 1993 Husker Co-Lifter-of-the-Year with linebacker Donta Jones.
During that season he finished as the team's fifth-leading rusher with 48 carries for 193 yards and one touchdown.
He earned All-Big Eight honorable mention honors in 1994 in a coaches poll and a Phillips 66 Academic All-Big Eight pick the same year.
He would finish second on the team in rushing in 1994 with 456 yards and four touchdowns including 7.2 yards-per-carry.
He was selected by the Lions in the sixth round of the 1995 NFL Draft.
He was selected to three Pro Bowls.
Schlesinger was a two-time all-state selection at linebacker at Columbus High School, leading the team in tackles as a junior and senior.

Schlesinger was drafted by the Detroit Lions in the sixth round (192nd overall) of the 1995 NFL Draft.
He started two of the team's first three games during his rookie season at fullback blocking for Barry Sanders, but playing time in the backfield diminished soon thereafter when the offense began employing three-receiver sets on almost every play from scrimmage.
He finished second on the team with 15 special teams tackles.
In 1996, he was primarily used on special teams, leading the club with 13 tackles on the year.
In 1997, he split time at fullback with Tommy Vardell and saw more action there than in previous years with the Lions with the team moving to a predominantly two-back set.
He again played on special teams, finishing second on team with 27 tackles.
He was the backup to Vardell at most times during the 1998 season but did see playing time in the backfield.
He served as one of squad's most productive special teams players for a fourth consecutive season, with his 18 tackles ranking fifth on the Lions.
On offense, he was part of team's "jumbo" package at goal-line and in short-yardage with he and Vardell sharing the backfield.
In 1999, he became the Lions' full-time starting fullback, replacing Vardell.
He also finished third on the team with 15 special teams tackles.

The fullback, in addition to rushing and blocking responsibilities, can also be more involved in the passing game.
